Lorena Peril (born December 21[1]) is an American singer. She is the lead vocalist for the topless revue Fantasy at Luxor Las Vegas and frequently performs the United States national anthem at sporting events.
Born in San Francisco, Peril graduated from Oceana High School in 1993 or 1994 and attended Skyline College. Starting at 18 years old, she worked for four years as a housekeeper at a nursing home in San Francisco and later as an administrative assistant in the Financial District. On a family vacation on a Carnival Cruise Line ship, she sang karaoke during an open mic. The cruise director urged her to apply for a role as a production singer. Peril sang for Carnival Cruise Line for over four years. On a friend's recommendation, she moved to Las Vegas in 2005 to seek job opportunities there after wanting a change from the cruise ship life. In mid-2005, Peril became the lead vocalist for the rock musical group Sunset Strip, which later became the show Sin City Bad Girls at the Las Vegas Hilton. She performed as Christina Aguilera in Stratosphere's tribute show American Superstars between 2007 and 2009 and in Sin City Bad Girls until 2010.
Peril became the lead vocalist and host of Fantasy between 2010 and 2013. She left in 2013 to perform as Sandy in a European tour of the musical Grease. On her return to Las Vegas, she was a lead vocalist in 2014 in the David Saxe production Vegas! The Show at Planet Hollywood. Peril left Las Vegas again to star in 2015 and 2016 with her husband in the cabaret production Married and Looking in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico. When she returned to Las Vegas, Peril started her second stint as lead vocalist of Fantasy in 2016. Reviewers of Fantasy praised her strong vocals, comedic stage presence, and ability to make the audience feel at ease. Peril created and starred in the 2023 musical production Housekeeper To Headliner about her life story.
